Calm day.

The weather this afternoon is amazing. Not too cold, not to hot, and the sunlight is so clear without burning me. The wind is just right too. Enough to be felt, but not enough to bother anyone.

Right now I'm perusing the free wifi service being offered at the Lincoln Center, in a little park right by the Opera theater. My ipod is playing a charming piano piece from a long time ago. It certainly isn't Glenn Gould, but it fits the world around me nicely. The effect is almost magical.

It's so nice to be able to rest a bit and think like a human being after a long day's work. Woe onto the fools who think bread and shelter are the only things necessary for human survival! I find that decent rest and peace of mind is just as fundamental to the human condition as any other physical, more conspicuous requirement of life.

Maybe I'll call a friend and dine out tonight. The weather is just too wonderful to go home and eat dinner in solitude. Or maybe I should cook something? I think I'm getting the hang of the zen of roasting chicken (and other things).
